Agent Planning
An agent's ability to break a high-level goal into an ordered sequence of structured sub-tasks before executing actions.
Why it exists
Executing tool calls without a plan leads to redundant API calls and logical dead ends.
How it works
Generates a step list (e.g. Plan: 1. Fetch data, 2. Clean table, 3. Plot chart), updating completion status as sub-tasks execute.
